This Note describes the use of two formulations of permethrin, "Permit" (PBI) and "Permasect 25 EC" (Mitchell Cotts) as pre-planting treatments to provide protection of young planting stock - either bare-rooted or raised in containers - against Hylobius abietis and Hylastes spp. which are frequently destructive on felled conifer sites. It takes the form of an "Application Leaflet", which is a mandatory adjunct to the formal Approval given by the Pesticides Safety Division of MAFF for the described uses under the Control of Pesticides Regulations 1986. The need for specified protective clothin and detailed attention to safety procedures is emphasised throughout. The use of these treatments in the context of the COSHH Regulations, which now apply, is explained. The Approvals to which this publication refers expire on 6 February 1991.
